Newcastle (A) 8/4/22 - Build-Up & Match Thread

[Carrotdude]

Yeah Trincao and Hwang off at HT for me

 

[The Bear]

Ait-Nouri would make a difference too. Just to give more options going forwards, who can beat a man and make the odd run.

 

[Carrotdude]

Nice incisive passing there all the way back to our own box so we could hit it out for a throw

 

[Jinky]

According to Spiers, Bruno is constantly bollocking Fabio, but at least he’s putting himself about.

This has got to be up there with the worst half of football this season. From us, and as a spectacle for any causal fan tuning in to watch some footy tonight. Shocking.

 

[The Bear]

Kin hell Trincao. Some nice play and then tries a 1 in 100 through ball instead of the easy one down his channel to get us into their box.

 

[The Bear]

Great ball from Fabio.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Kin hell Trincao. Some nice play and then tries a 1 in 100 through ball instead of the easy one down his channel to get us into their box.

Right foots for standing.

 

[Jinky]

Hwang you lazy, lazy bastard.

 

[Nando]

£14m for Hwang. Fucking hell.

He'd struggle in League One. Utter shite.

 

[The Bear]

Hwang definitely needs hooking for Neto. Pass back loses us the ball again.

"According to Opta the current xG is 0.07 v 0.03. I think that's generous." - After 35 min.

 

[The Bear]

Hmmm. Foul against Moutinho for a flailing foot. After Wood trips him up with a flailing foot...

 

[Carrotdude]

Literally the only positive is that we’re not losing yet. Awful.

 

[The Bear]

Thank fuck for that. 0-0.

Now let's get Neto and RAN on and get some more bodies dribbling forwards.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Hwang shite. Why have we signed him? Neto on.
Kilman giving the ball away - can him and Boly swap sides please.

 

[Jabbawolf]

Kilman’s passing has been gash tonight - hopefully a game of two halves.

 

[The Bion]

"We controlled the game in the first half"

 

[Adrian Peckham Monk]

Hwang looks completely lost

 

[Paul]

Kilman giving the ball away - can him and Boly swap sides please.

Why not just swap him for Saiss he's been atrocious

 

[Throbber1]

Rotten half of football. Hwang has looked particularly awful

 

[big mean bunny]

Can only hope the lack of commitment forward was tactical, obviously not what we want to see but Bruno alluded to doing similar versus Everton when they had just received a hammering.

For me we are simply being over run and not linking well with our own front 3. In different circumstances you wanted to either match their system or at least go 352 to stop us being overrun in the middle.

Like many others I am just not seeing whatever they did with the Hwang deal.
